Try places that sell and service car radios.

The last time I bought RG-62 I dropped by the local surplus
place (Active Surplus, Toronto) and picked up several meters.
I was curious what the "real" application for RG-62 was, so
I asked, and that's what they told me.

Some of it found its way into a weather satellite antenna
I'm playing with - crossed dipoles, two lambda/4 sections of
RG-59, an additional lambda/4 section of RG-62, tied
in parallel for a 50 ohm feed. It's right out of Davidoff,
and butt-ugly (lots of black tape and tie wraps), but it
works fine.
